Higher education needs this concept too - workslop = straight from the AI output in essays and papers
Anna Dorn: "A new term is spreading thru offices and Slack channels across the land: *workslop*, aka AI-polished output that looks professional but adds no value - creating a flood of shiny, hollow work that wastes time & lowers the bar for everyone" . https://t.co/r5rXPgexq1

Oh dear. Interruptions in economics are v.v. male behaviour, and now in public choice theory and political economy parts of political science too. Too often talks are disrupted by premature questions from know-it-alls who just can’t wait…
Men and women are treated differently when presenting their economics research. "Within a seminar series, women are interrupted more than men... Interruptions that are negative in tenor or tone, or cutoff the presenter mid-sentence, increase for women presenters." New AER paper

People at low-ranked US universities are also “excluded” from top-ranked journals. It’s almost like it’s basically a resource issue. Have to teach a lot? Don’t have research funds? Bad incentives? Good luck competing with someone at Harvard who gets a sabbatical in year two.
This paper shows that authors from low-income countries remain excluded from top-ranked economics journals and receive less attention from other economists. Developing country authors are far less likely to be published in top journals even when holding citation counts constant.
